Tom Nichols' book "The Death of Expertise" is a good and stimulating read along the same lines I try to follow in this Blog.
We live in interesting and trying times. Never so much knowledge has been available so freely to so many.
Unfortunately, the same channels that make that precious knowledge available are clogged with toxic speech, conspiracy theories and ignorance.
How can people tell the difference between facts and "alternative facts" when they listen to "alternative facts" campaigns like this?
Or these ?
his Blog's main task is -like "Politics and Prose" and C-SPAN- contributing to disseminate good and deep thinking and research.
Nichols explains much better why it's so vital.
